Smith Variance Snow Helmet - Men's

Smith Ski/Snowboard Helmet

Whether cruising down corduroy or exploring the backcountry, the Variance offers the most advanced technology, all with the guarantee of comfort provided by our premium helmet fit. Built with our Hybrid Shell construction, this full performance helmet has received the highest compliment we could hope for-competitor imitation.

Hybrid Hard Shell Construction: Smith?s Hybrid Shell construction combines separate lightweight and durable shells to create an entirely new helmet category. By fusing our tough Bombshell ABS construction with flyweight In-Mold? technology, our Hybrid Shell construction optimizes the favorable traits of each material in the revolutionary process. The result is a modern design that provides a lightweight, low-profile, perfect fitting helmet. Hybrid Shell construction also creates a clean, smooth top surface by enabling the low profile Regulator to function with reduced mass and volume.

AirEvac 2 Ventilation: AirEvac 2 continues to drive the warm air away from the goggle through external vents and internal channels in the EPS liner. Internal airflow can be adjusted through the helmet?s Regulator climate control system.

The ultimate in goggle-helmet integration, AirEvac 2 connects shell vents and internal EPS channels to increase airflow and evacuate warm, moist air to prevent goggle fogging. Cool, dry air is consistently pulled into the goggle as the warm, moist air is exhausted over the wearer?s head and out the rear of the helmet.

Snap-Fit SL Ear Pads: Ear pads are ergonomically designed to be form fitting and comfortable. Easily removed for washing and effortlessly reinstalled. New SL ear pads are found in the Vantage to reduce weight while maintaining comfort and warmth.
